Cosmic Glow festival is back for its second season, and it promises to be a must-visit event this October and November in Al Ain. If you’ve ever wanted to experience stargazing, art, and desert adventure all in one place, then this is your chance. Set in Jebel Hafit Desert Park, Cosmic Glow offers three Saturday nights of unique experiences that blend science, culture, and creativity.
On October 25, November 1, and November 8, visitors can enjoy a variety of activities that are perfect for families and anyone curious about the universe. Guided stargazing sessions, led by experts from the International Astronomy Center, offer a chance to learn about the stars and planets in the stunning desert setting.

Adding a bit of mystery to the event, Ancient Tombs Night Adventure invites guests to explore the desert’s ancient ruins. Led by Emirati cultural specialists, the tour uncovers the fascinating history and legends behind Hafit’s ancient tombs.
For those who want to get creative, there are glow-in-the-dark art sessions, including neon silk-screening and painting workshops. You can also join in on rhythmic drumming circles that light up the desert as the beats fill the air under the night sky.

To round out the experience, there will be an open-fire BBQ station and drinks to keep you energized while you enjoy the night.
Cosmic Glow is a great opportunity to connect with the universe in a unique setting. Whether you’re stargazing, making unusual art, or learning about ancient history, this is an event you and your kids don’t want to miss. Tickets are available on Platinumlist, including Cosmic Staycation Bundle option (comes with a hotel stay).
Only 150 spots available per evening! Be sure to grab yours before they sell out!
